    How come John Ruiz managed to avoid punchers?

    Must have been a reason neither Klitschko, Lewis, Peter, Arreola, Brewster or even Grant or a shot Tyson got him...

      ...:SNVHUH:...I don't get it either.

      Edit: Oh, I get it. He's an alt/noob/troll.

      That explains it, I think.

        Tucker was almost 40
        Johnson never scored an impressive KO other than over Oleg
        Hasim, Lewis aside, stopped low level opponents, unless you want to consider Meehan a durable type
        Golota I would give you, but he was hardly in his prime and managed to drop Ruiz twice anyway.

        I was meaning between Tua and Haye, seemed he avoided prime world level punchers.

          I doubt Ruiz really dodged people. He was never that big of a factor.

            So, all you're saying is, aside from the punchers he faced, he didn't really face any punchers? I guess that is right strange, that is.

                There was no World class prime punchers for 14 years, just guys who feasted on nobodies to get a high % I.e Lamarr Clark style. Briggs was another he never met...

                    Whats level of opponents got to do with anyting?

                    A lot of journeymen have better chins than ranked guys and champs.

                    Ruiz was in the manipulated by Don King WBA rankings for about a million years.....He fought everyone who was ranked there beside him. Just so happens other fighters you consider punchers held other titles and were ranked by other sanctioning bodies.
